That being said, when RIM paid them off, they received an unfettered license to the technology, which extends to the BlackBerry service running on other devices as well (eg: BBConnect on your Palm 650). I don't even see how Palm can be in violation of their patents since Palm doesn't have their own push email system (or do they? I've never used one but always though you needed to get Good or Visto or something).

bah - whatever, I'll check back on this story in four years.]]>Nov 8th 2006 1:35PM
